Adam Lambert still above 3,000 with 'Whataya Want From Me'

When you look at major hit songs, one of the biggest litmus tests is seeing how long that can persevere after being initially released -- oftentimes, the true success stories are still getting thousands of hits despite being out for years.

In the case of Adam Lambert and "Whataya Want From Me," he has certainly achieved this status leading up to the one-year anniversary of his debut album's release. In the newest airplay numbers courtesy of USA Today Monday, Adam's biggest hit still had 3,070 spins across multiple radio formats.

To go along with this, we also have an addition 1,898 spins from "If I Had You," meaning that these songs alone are still pulling almost 5,000 spins alone. (If only "Sleepwalker" was released here in the States, the number would easily be higher.)

The most amazing thing about all this? "Whataya Want From Me" is the third-most-popular "American Idol" track from the past week, beating out a collection of far newer songs.
